COOL WATERS AND BABINDA

We are staying at a caravan park called, 'Cool Waters'. It certainly is cool AND watery.......today the rain is pelting down.

 

Luckily the night we arrived it was fine. We all sat outside and listened to the strains of Keith Parker who serenaded us while we ate some rather cold pizza

Skin had an unusual glow about him......I think he is going to be a country and western STAR!!!!!!!

 

    Today we drove to Babinda  to visit St Rita's School.

As we drove into the town, a deluge of rain began to fall from the sky. As we both looked out the window of the van, we saw a sign, ' Umbrella Town.'

I was pleased I had brought my umbrella, but it was not a good choice to bring one in the shape of a cane toad!

 

The school umbrella looked much better than mine.

 

This is what it said on each corner.

Skin ran around in the rain and became very wet. He felt great comfort when I put him in the arms of a statue of Mary.

She watches over the school and gives out a calm, soothing feeling.

We had a lovely chat to the teachers at morning tea. Thank you everyone at St Rita's for a delightful morning.

Tomorrow is another school day, and Skin is practicing his spelling.

( I hope all the grade 3/4 Kongwak children are practising too!

We are looking forward to coming to visit you for YELLOW DAY when we return!!!!)
